Q. It's my first class, do I need to know anything?

There are a few things you should try and do before and after class to ensure you get the most benefit out of Bikram Yoga.

• Make sure to drink plenty of water leading up to your class and come fully hydrated
   
• Do not eat a heavy meal at least 1.5 hours before class.  Bikram Yoga is best done on an empty stomach.  If you need to eat something, stick to a light snack like fruit.
   
• Leave your shoes and belongings outside the studio, in the lockers provided or in the washrooms
   
• Brink a water bottle or purchase water to take into class
   
• Do not bring cell phones, pagers, gum, food, or anything else that might distract either yourself or others from practice
   
• Try not to talk while you are in the yoga studio, and if you have a question if possible wait until after the class to approach the instructor
   
• Be on time!  Once the instructor has entered the room class begins immediately and no more students are allowed to enter the studio.  Please make sure you are early to class.
   
• After class make sure to continue to drink water to keep you hydrated
   
• You might be hungry so bring a piece of fruit to snack on after class, you will most likely be craving something healthy
